I was waiting with baited breath to try out Dames. It did not live up to the hype. However, it was still worth the visit. The food was solidly good. The concept of different flavored "smears" for your waffles and chicken was a good one. You definitely will need reservations. The lines are crazy. I thought the chicken was tasty with out being greasy. I would go back again.

My husband with the country food taste buds and I visited for the first time. Very nice wait staff. Waitress explained the unique food choices for my sweetie. I had eggs and turkey sausage on a waffle, a waffle with smears (butter with your choice of fruit flavor) and cheese grits. I liked the waffle with smears best. Prices were a bit high for the food offerings, I thought. Mine was one of the least expensive at $9.50. Most selections were in the $15 range. The location was easy to find, had generous number of tables. A fast foodish look/feel. A nice experience but we probably won't go back.

This is busy restaurant with great fried chicken and waffle. No wonder there are so many people. Would recommend to make a reservation online before you go. Service is also a little bit slow. The chicken is tasty and not as greasy as other fried chicken from other restaurants.

Too much hype about nothing, not at all worth the wait. My chicken was not seasoned well and my waffle was nothing special. Won't be back.

I have been living in Durham for one year and every time I passed by the restaurant I saw people waiting to eat here. Yesterday, as we were walking by we noticed there was no line so we decided to enter. The reason for our delayed visit was simple, I did not believe that the chicken and waffles combination were worthwhile. The truth, I was wrong. It worked really good, providing a unique flavor by mixing a crispy chicken and a tasty waffle.

Regarding the other aspects of our visit, the restaurant was clean and we received an amazing service by our server Mike. In general a positive experience so we will definitely come back.
